Discussion:WOW!! IRS notice 2008-5 and section 152(d)(1) See Example 1 Also check Publication 501 page 13 in the PDF format, right hand side at the top of the page. Under the qualifying relative standard, if she is not required to file a tax return you could make the argument. It has to be for the entire year and all the other tests must be met. Tom | |
